Back from St Martin

Hello all, Jane and I just returned from three glorious weeks in St Martin(the friendly island). The first week we were joined by by daughter Tracy,Danny and our two beautiful grandaughters Cassidy and Camille. The girls had a ball playing in the ocean and playing all day. They had no problems sleeping at night. Danny and I fished just about every morning and evening. We caught a lot of snook. A few over twenty pounds. The fishing was incredible. The girls went shopping and sight seeing and a great time was had by all. Jane and I had a few days to ourselves and then we had friends from Toronto,David and Karen Jones spend a week with us. A tribute to David was that he was out of bed every morning at 5 AM to go fishing. Unfortunately the fishing had slowed down but we were still able to catch a few good fish. We ate like kings . We had fresh fish a lot. I was giving away fish to the hotel guests. I think I fed at least twelve people. I made four big batches of cerviche during our stay. We had a great time with the other Jones'es. One day we took a road trip. It was truly an adventure. When they left, Jane and I still had three days to ourselves. We flew home to 50 degrees and a driving rain storm. This morning I woke up to snow coming down and the temp at 31. Makes me want to go back to the island. All in all it was a very relaxing vacation. Next off to Las Vegas for a week. Until later Peace Don
